For now I've just taken what was in the pkg previously
(syscalls, regexp, pcre, wildcard).
Just as a makefile cleanup, the resulting installation
remains identical.

When I try
./configure --build build
I get
[...]
configure: * check for host type
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `build': machine `build' 
not
 recognized
configure: error: /usr/pkg/bin/bash ./build-aux/config.sub build failed

The --build command line switch is predefined by GNU autoconf
to specify the machine/OS the software is built on.

I might do so later. Perhaps next week.

Just had a brief look at it. Needs some work to recognize
modern NetBSD correctly. Perhaps next week...
